Fluid 100 Watercolor Blocks contain archival, 100% rag cotton paper that is gelatin-sized. Crafted in a European mill that has been making fine art papers since 1618, these watercolor paper blocks are made with papermaking machines able to operate at very slow speeds, creating a sheet with characteristics of strength and quality.
Each block contains watercolor paper bound on two edges. This form of block binding offers the benefit of both a pad and a block and allows for easy movement from one sheet to the next. Just remove a finished piece from the block by sliding a palette knife or a similar tool underneath on all sides to loosen it from the binding glue and lift off. With the block, an artist can forego the extra process of taping down a blank sheet of watercolor paper to a surface before painting to prevent buckling.
Each block contains 15 sheets of cold press watercolor paper. Also available with hot press (smooth surface) paper. Made in USA.
